Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white is cooler in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a light undulation to the paper and a very short nick to the bottom centre of the right edge, and a small fold just above it.

Catalogue Note
"I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death. It was Christmas or Labor Day - a holiday - and every time you turned on the radio they said something like '4 million are going to die.' That started it. But when you see a gruesome picture over and over again, it doesn't really have any effect."
